Maya,
Dont worry on this, let your blood test arrive and you have more details on it whether the HepB is Acute or HepB is chronic (more than 6 months). Also all blood test wont tell that immediately that you have Acute or Chronic HepB.
Dont worry too much, everything will be fine dont freak out at all. Post your results once you have them dont worry and enjoy the life. Also there is a nice article that this forum has that gives general knowledge about HepB:
